Rwanda born Dorothée Munyaneza, currently based in France, is an artist whose works examine the scars of history.
Following her powerful Samedi Détente (Under the Radar 2016), which evoked Munyaneza’s personal memories and the generational wound of the Rwandan genocide, Unwanted examines rape as a weapon in warzones.
Performed alongside the ethereal melodies of experimental musician Holland Andrews (Portland, OR), and created in collaboration with French composer Alain Mahé and South African visual artist Bruce Clarke, Unwanted draws from stories of Tutsi women survivors to investigate how the female body holds, moves, and operates within the confines of a lived trauma.
